Does the term Deaf American only apply to US Americans or anybody who speaks ASL as their primary language, regardless of their nationality? Clr324 ( say hi) 13:25, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
The article Deaf culture deals with substantially the same topic as this article. Most of Deaf culture (everythng dealing with the U.S., which is 90% of it) should be merged here, so that there is one article about the topic. (Then, the "Deaf culture" article should be turned into a summary-style article covering Deaf culture worldwide, instead of trying to duplicate material here.) Mathglot ( talk) 01:04, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
@ Mathglot: I support both the merge and the renaming; I think both are logical proposals. I have no idea how to effect either improvement, however. 1980fast ( talk) 04:48, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
I've started to implement this: the Terminology section, which dealt exclusively with U.S. content, has been moved over. Mathglot ( talk) 07:59, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
This article isn't really about "Americans" but about the culture of Deaf people living in the United States, regardless what their nationality happens to be. Thus per WP:PRECISION, the logical name for this article is Deaf culture in the United States. That title is, in fact, currently a redirect to Deaf American, but to be accurate, it should be the other way around. This was first raised by User:Clr324 in the section above.

Merge from Deaf bing in progress. Created a new section, #Further reading here, and copied all the references from Deaf bing here. This provides a baseline for merging content, using short footnotes, if desired. Mathglot ( talk) 19:40, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

The article doesn't address the central and fascinating subtopic of why there is such a thing as deaf culture, but not, for example, any such thing as a " blind culture" (notwithstanding the fact that there is an article about it). This would be a good subproject for a Wiki Ed course assignment. Hint: start with the influence of language on culture, and if comparing to blindness, the difference between a natural language, and an encoding (poorly described at encoding, which has mistakes and could use much improvement), such as Braille. Adding User:Ian (Wiki Ed), for next time you see a class related to this topic, which is close to my heart. Mathglot ( talk) 08:21, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
My recent edit was reverted impressively quickly. Now I admit, I did fuck up the formatting and make a pretty terrible typo, but I still think the core idea was there. The section is not in an encyclopaedic style at all. Case in point: a direct block quote from a book without the article stating where the quote came from. The assertion that there exists a "Deaf essence" also strikes me a bit esoteric on its face. I assume the book's author knows what they're talking about, but this terminology isn't common at all. Without knowing the exact definitions of the source, the reader won't reasonably be able to know what the section is talking about. As such, simpler language should be used. The section should be rewritten to fix these two issues. 157.181.131.146 ( talk) 12:36, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
